Verdict

The call

Perfume Advisor and ScentMax both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of ScentMax's written reviews are positive against 39% of Perfume Advisor's. ScentMax also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.4). Perfume Advisor's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
